Galya paints "Awelye Atnwengerrp" which means women's ceremony, celebrating Bush Tucker which in Galya's case, is Bush Melon or Bush Tomato and its Seed. "Bush Melon Seed " is depicted by small curved brushstrokes while the "Bush Melon " works consists of blunt paintbrush dabs that are layered across a body paint design background. The patterns represent the designs painted on women's bodies during bush tucker ceremonies, in Atnwengerrp.  Both styles use various colours to form abstract pieces of great beauty. During these ceremonies the women dance, and sing, paying homage to their ancestors, the land and the food it provides.  Galya is continually developing her own unique, contemporary style and is proving to be an exciting and progressive artist.  In 2005 and 2008 her work was nominated in the prestigious Telstra Awards held in Darwin.
